Born into a family of migrant workers, toiling in the fields by the
age of six, Jose M. Hernandez dreamed of traveling through the
night skies on a rocket ship. REACHING FOR THE STARS is the
inspiring story of how he realized that dream, becoming the first
Mexican-American astronaut.
Hernandez didn't speak English till he was 12, and his peers often
joined gangs, or skipped school. And yet, by his twenties he was
part of an elite team helping develop technology for the early
detection of breast cancer. He was turned down by NASA eleven times
on his long journey to donning that famous orange space suit.
Hernandez message of hard work, education, perseverance, of
"reaching for the stars," makes this a classic American
autobiography.
